==Example: identifying MFS with biostratigraphic data==

In [[file:exploring-for-stratigraphic-traps_fig21-17.png|Figure 1]] from the Gulf of Suez basin, planktonic and foraminiferal data taken on a 30-ft (9.1-m) interval show abundance peaks crossing a sharp log break from a thin carbonate to marine shale. Abundance peaks such as this are a common feature of the maximum flooding surface (MFS). Seismic and well log correlations confirm that this break is an MFS overlain by a prograding clastic wedge.

The computer-generated labels on the right side post alternative sequence boundary picks. In this way the interpreter can choose the best pick from all available well and seismic information.
